Play in a Pokémon League

A Pokémon League provides a nearby place for you to get
together with other fans of both the Pokémon Trading Card Game and the Pokémon
video games, and have some fun. Using your own cards and Pokémon video games,
you can play, trade, and even earn cool prizes! The best part is that you can
do all this with other Pokémon players who love collecting and playing just as
much as you do.

Even if you don’t know all the rules of the game, at a League
you can learn game basics and, in no time, perfect your strategy! Joining a League
is the best way to hone your skills to compete in Pokémon tournaments, from League
Challenges all the way up to the World Championships. Leagues are held in safe
public locations, such as game stores, community centers, or libraries, and are
run by official League organizers.

2015 League Cycle: Hoenn Gym Challenge

The League cycle is divided into eight seasons, each of which lasts about five weeks with a theme matching the Gyms featured in the new Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire video games for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Most Leagues meet once a week for three to four hours. When each season begins, you’ll receive a card like the one below:

As you participate in League events, you’ll use this card to keep track
of your League matches. If you play in enough matches and track them on
your scorecard, you’ll earn special code cards for the Pokémon Trading
Card Game Online! And, if you meet more specific goals, you can even
earn exclusive awards!

Participation includes playing Pokémon TCG games,
playing Pokémon video game matches, completing activities, and trading cards.
